The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[Rob_R]

I took delivery of my GTD yesterday. Very happy.

I read the "running in a diesel" advice that I found here, and trying to follow it with the DSG - interesting! Left in auto mode, it changes out of first very quickly; if I try in manual mode, it sometimes delays the upchange to 2nd - it's gone past the 3800 "running in" rev limit a few times.

Loved the run up the freeway last night (even if it was a reduced speed limit for wet weather), and came home the long way through the hills. I'm loving the torque that it has.

Now I've got a long weekend of "running in" to do.

Great to hear your loving it. Alot of people dismiss the diesel, not realising how far they have come in recent years. Took some mates for a burl in a diesel jetta and they soon changed their perception of what they knew and thought about them. Anyway many happy miles to you.

Rang to VWA about my R's status just now, still no luck here. The lady found my order still wait for produce so no VIN number even build week can given. Sign, it seems I can't receive it in time around this Nov even Dec.

Sorry to hear that mate

May well still get it before Dec though

Mine was built late June and arrived late Aug.

Finger cross, hope it will come in time

You are not alone...
Mine should be in the factory being built next week.
I got an email from VWA 3 weeks ago saying my R will enter production within the upcoming 4 weeks...

Fingers and legs crossed i can get it before xmas...

Thank you. Still loving the torque & the way it corners. I think I'll be happy having work pay me to drive this.

Including city & country "running in", average economy after almost 1000km is 6.2l/100km. Unfortunately, because the bluetooth isn't coming up on the RCD510, it has to go back to the dealer for the day, one week after I picked it up.

Hola everyone

Just pulled the trigger today and put in an order for a 5 door GTI.

Specs ordered: Carbon Steel, DSG, ACC, Detroits alloys, DYNAudio premium sound system, leather

[backdoc]

Nice. Apparently gray (read Carbon Steel) is the new white. You won't be disappointed. Great car to be in every day!

Initially the colour choices were either deep black or candy white. In the end I just mixed them together and voila, it became grey lol

Congrates quackie.

If you don't mind, how much did you pay and what's the delivery date? And is it going to be built year 11 or 12?

Cheers,

I ordered the car using a novated lease arrangment. Finance payment amounts to around $47400 for a MY12 build.

I'm waiting to hear back with regards to the delivery date.
